Viii- Maintenance - Bradford White SW-2-40R-L Installation And Operating Manual

3. After the water heater completes a heat-up cycle, check the
water temperature at a faucet. Allow enough water to flow to
ensure that the water temperature reflects the tank temperature.
Adjust the water heater's temperature setting as necessary.
a. Adjusting to a lower temperature setting will not immediately
affect water temperature. Draw sufficient water or allow the
water heater to remain idle until a heat-up cycle is initiated.
Repeat step 3.
b. Adjusting to a higher temperature may not immediately affect
water temperature. If a heat-up cycle begins, return to step 3.
If a heat-up cycle does not begin, draw sufficient water or
allow the water heater to remain idle until a heat-up cycle is
initiated. Repeat step 3.
This indirect-fired water heater is intended to provide a service life of
many years. Components that require service, however, may be
subject to failure. Failure to use the correct procedures or parts in
these circumstances may make the water heater unsafe.
The owner should arrange to have the following inspections and
simple maintenance procedure performed by qualified service
personnel at the frequencies suggested.
1. Boiler and Domestic Water Piping (Annual) – Check all piping
for signs of leakage at joints, unions, and shut-off valves. Repair
as needed.
2. Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve (Annual) – The
temperature-pressure relief valve should be checked to ensure
that it is in operating condition. To check the relief valve, lift the
lever at the end of the valve several times. The valve should seat
properly and operate freely. If water does not flow, remove and
inspect for obstructions or corrosion. Replace with a new valve of
the recommended size as necessary. Do NOT attempt to repair
the valve, as this could result in improper operation and a tank
explosion. In areas with poor water conditions, it may be
necessary to inspect the temperature-pressure relief valve more
often than once a year.
